# Adifyline purchasing/volume guide

r/DIYaesthetics • by u/Gloomy-Scarcity-2197 • 6 points

Hello

I've been scrounging around for information regarding Adifyline/Acetyl Hexapeptide-38. I've only found one (slightly vague and not very reassuring with zero data) study in a cosmetology journal, but as it was referenced by the NIH I'm willing to give it a go.

Where is everyone purchasing it?

e.g. I found 1g/98% purity on AliBaba for $180USD. With the "recommended dosage" being 0.5mg, was that just for one application to the face? What about breasts?

Is this a good price? What's the likelihood that what I'm being sold is just cornflour?

Update: I remembered to check LotionCrafters so I ordered it from there. How many mg of Adifyline is in 15g of their product? 750mg?

The lotioncrafters website says it’s 0.05% active ingredient. I’d asked ChatGPT to do the math but it’s a very small amount.

Running a similar experiment myself.

u/Gloomy-Scarcity-2197 • 2 points

My math was:

0.05% active ingredient in product
15g = 750mg of active ingredient
0.5mg/mL target dosage, with approximately 5mL used for face
So 15g contains approx 5 months of product if used twice daily on face alone

That aligns with their recommendation to use 2% by volume each time for face/breasts. It doesn't matter much how concentrated you make it, as long as you use that much each time and are able to make it reach all of your target areas.

The practical way to do all of that is simply to figure out how much carrier medium (moisturiser, etc) you want to mix it with, draw the right amount of active ingredient with a syringe (0.1-0.15mL) and mix it up before using it.

The clinical difference in results between 0.2mg/mL and 0.5mg/mL were low enough that it can become a safe margin of error.

I'll be using it on my breasts as well, similar area to my face, so in reality I have a month and a bit of product in what I've purchased. That's enough time to check for results according to the product guide.

And please don't rely on chat GPT for math work, it's constantly wrong :)

I’ll be thrilled if it works. Check in in a month?

u/Gloomy-Scarcity-2197 • 3 points

Yup! Maybe two though as it'll take a month to arrive.

Update me!! 💕

u/Gloomy-Scarcity-2197 • 1 points

One week in I wasn't expecting anything yet. However my face is a tiny bit softer and my boobs are having growth tingles.

Realistically though ping me in two months.

u/Impressive_Beat_2626 • 1 points

Amazing! Love those tingles lol. Did you just add a tsp to a bottle of lotion? I could never figure out the ratio with adifyline from lotion crafter.

Pinging early!

u/Gloomy-Scarcity-2197 • 1 points

My progress has been slow but evident.

My girlfriend's progress on the other hand has been fucking phenomenal. She was already going from nothing to a C cup in three months flat due to finally getting a blocker, but with AH38 it's pushing her forward even faster and literally filling in the gaps that hormones haven't affected yet.

About 30 days in now, I'll be posing comparison pics after 60 days.

u/Smooth_Training_1104 • 2 points

hello ik it's not 30 days yet but I'm curious ,if you have any updates so far?

u/Warm_Pen_7176 • 0 points

Blockers? M2F? If so then there isn't any way of attributing the growth to anything other than blockers and hormones.

I was really trying to believe this could work 😪

u/Gloomy-Scarcity-2197 • 1 points

What utter rubbish. There are clinical results.

u/FoodieTech • 2 points

You’re a lifesaver. Thank you.

u/TheKnown_Unknown • 1 points

how did the adiflyine go for you?

u/Ok_Hat_2107 • 1 points

Fail. It did nothing. Fun experiment though.

u/TheKnown_Unknown • 1 points

ah damn, how long did you try it/what did you mix it with

u/TheKnown_Unknown • 2 points

u/Gloomy-Scarcity-2197 what were the results in the end?

u/Gloomy-Scarcity-2197 • 2 points

Good in both myself and my partner. She was lacking fat development more than I was and she saw visible increases in a month of usage in both face and breasts. Not dream-result, but significant.

I saw smaller but still perceptible changes. The biggest difference was on the backs of my hands.

We're both trans-feminine and I'm on the chunk side while she's skinny.

I ended up using LotionCrafter as it comes a little bit more finished than AliBaba. Mixed 1ml of Adifyline with 1ml of Vasoline Cocoa Glow (mixing up about 20ml at a time) into a pump bottle that gives about 1ml per pump. Applied 1ml to face, 1ml to breasts etc, and any leftovers to backs of hands twice a day.

I haven't ordered more yet but I'll get around to it at some point. I think my testing confirmed something I'd expected, which is it fills in existing fat reservoirs that you either had or would have had as a child/teenager, it doesn't wholesale just add fat to the area it's placed. So if you put it on your whole face/neck you won't end up looking weird. It's not a magic fat pen.

u/JustLocksmith2985 • 2 points

Did help with facial fat? Like cheek and undereye

u/Gloomy-Scarcity-2197 • 2 points

Yeah. It's like an over-all increase though. Like I keep saying, it only hits areas where you've lost it since being a teenager. It's basically turning back the clock a bit. It won't add it where you never had it (unless you've totally switched sex hormones as well)

u/TheKnown_Unknown • 2 points

oh fascinating, cool theory on the existing fat pad side, would love to chat more about this, can i dm you pls?

u/Gloomy-Scarcity-2197 • 3 points

Sure. There's a discord where a bunch of us hang out sharing tips and hacks and discussing stuff if you'd like to join that as well.
